? Turricaspia pseudobacuana (Logvinenko & Starobogatov, 1969)

*1969 Pyrgula (Eurycaspia) pseudobacuana Logvinenko & Starobogatov: 358, fig. 358(16).

2016 Pyrgula pseudobacuana Logvinenko & Starobogatov, 1968. - Vinarski and Kantor: 241.

Status. Pontocaspian species, probably junior synonym.

Type locality. Southern Caspian Sea, 50-80 m.

Distribution. South Caspian Basin. This species was mentioned from depths between 200 and 300 m in the South Caspian Basin of Azerbaijan ( Mirzoev and Alekperov 2017).

Taxonomic notes. The slender shell with a keel near the lower suture is reminiscent of T. basalis (Dybowski & Grochmalicki, 1915). The short description and poor drawing precluded the verification of its status. The type material has been very recently detected in the collection of ZIN and awaits further study.

Conservation status. Not assessed.
